Equinor (formerly Statoil) has bagged nine new licenses for the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) in the offshore licensing round. The licenses are given out by the Oil and Gas Authority, UK and are spread all across the UK shelf. The award contains one commitment well on the prospect Lifjellet in the Jæren High area. The Norwegian energy giant is all set to undertake three well exploration campaigns, this autumn.
